Guild Wars 2 Dev Tracker

We're aware of this (since a bunch of us were logged in waiting for it too 😄 ) and we're looking into it!

This is more an issue of "This text needed to be clearer" than an attempt to trick people into crafting something, but we are planning to update the text!

To make sure I'm flagging the right issue: Did you receive the item after you purchased it, and double-click it to consume it?

This is an issue with resetting the achievement progress from last year--if you fully completed the achievement last year you got credit for it this year.

I just did a quick check on this--it needs to be someone else's homestead, not your own. You do not necessarily have to say "trick or treat" to the homestead owner unless you want to. 😉

10/15/2024—Shadow of the Mad King Release Notes Release Notes: Halloween Once again, the gates of the Mad Realm have opened, and Kryta's most infamous monarch, Mad King Thorn, has returned to hold court in Lion's Arch! Loyal vassals of the king are strongly encouraged to enjoy the festivities: meet the denizens of the Mad Realm in events across Kryta; tour the Mad Realm itself in the Mad King's Labyrinth and the fearsome Clock Tower; compete with your fellow mortals in Lunatic Inquisition, Reaper's Rumble, and the Mad King's Raceway; attend to the king's whims in his notorious pastime of Mad King Says; or match wits and blades against royalty in Ascent to Madness. The Lion's Arch Captain's Council wishes to remind the populace that they are not affiliated with the Krytan monarchy and cannot guarantee the safety of any citizens who choose to dabble in dangerous realms, mad or otherwise.

I locked this as it's reached the end of its constructive conversation. As always, discuss the ideas rather than attacking the person, and if you can't do that make use of the ignore function.

Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue that prevented the Ancient Bell and Haunted Bell from being removable once placed in a homestead or guild hall. Fixed an issue that prevented the Decorated Casket and Eternal Flame homestead decorations from being visible in the crafting list after being unlocked.

Well-deserved in this case! 😄

Ohhhh... That's entirely my bad. I started doing a bit of cleanup yesterday since those threads never got unpinned after the beta event ended, did this one first since I was already in this forum, got pulled away for a last-minute meeting, and never got back to it. I'll...uh, just go finish that now...

I just checked in on this and someone is working on a fix for it!

I'm going to close this out and add my good wishes to all of yours for our community members and friends in the storm's path. Stay safe, everyone!

Thank you for flagging this! We've been working on a fix for this and will be shipping it with an upcoming build.

@Kelly.7019 I've been sharing this around with co-workers, this is wild! Thanks for showing it off--I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue that prevented the Wayfinder's Versatile Table homestead decoration from being crafted. The fix will be applied after logging in with the character that originally learned the recipe. Late Note: Fixed an issue that prevented PvP league chests from giving the correct rewards.

Today we've added the option to upload images with your forum posts. Images should be on topic and follow the forum guidelines--with that said, let's see those homesteads and armor combos!
